Cameron Jibril Thomaz, widely recognized as Wiz Khalifa, was born on September 8, 1987, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His musical journey began with the independent label Rostrum Records, where he released his debut studio album, "Show and Prove," in 2006. The following year, he secured a brief partnership with Warner Bros. Records, which led to his first notable hit, the Eurodance-inspired single "Say Yeah," in 2008.

After leaving Warner Bros., Khalifa independently launched his second album, "Deal or No Deal," in 2009, and later signed with Atlantic Records in 2010. His debut single under the new label, "Black and Yellow," celebrated his Pittsburgh roots, topping the Billboard Hot 100 and earning him two Grammy nominations. His subsequent singles "Roll Up" and "No Sleep" also achieved top 40 success, paving the way for his major label debut, "Rolling Papers," in 2011, which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200.

Khalifa’s fourth album, "O.N.I.F.C." (2012), followed a similar trajectory, while his fifth album, "Blacc Hollywood" (2014), debuted at number one, featuring the hit "We Dem Boyz." His collaboration with Charlie Puth, "See You Again," from the "Furious 7" soundtrack, topped charts for 12 weeks and received a diamond certification from the RIAA. Later albums include "Rolling Papers 2" (2018), which mirrored the success of its predecessor.
